FINA

FINA points

A single number to compare swims across events and strokes on one scale.

Know the pace

Turn a standard into pace targets

Knowing the qualifying time is useful. Knowing the pace required at every wall is better. The app breaks any standard into even split targets across the full race.

50

Target pace at every wall

Splits every 50m in long course and every 25m in short course, not just guesswork.

◎

A target they can train to

★

National ID Team

From one deck parent to another

Why this app exists

I have spent more meet weekends than I can count squinting at PDF time standards on a phone, trying to figure out whether a swim just made a cut. Between two kids in competitive swimming, a spreadsheet that never stayed current, and standards scattered across a dozen websites, I decided to build the tool I kept wishing existed. Every standard from every governing body, checked in seconds, right at the pool.

Good questions

Frequently asked

The standards are free online. Why pay for an app?
They are, and you can keep squinting at PDFs in the stands. What you are buying is the two seconds between a swim and an answer: every governing body's standards in one place, already matched to your swimmer's age and course, with history, pace splits, and season-long progress that no PDF will ever give you. And Pro costs less than a single meet entry fee, once.
Is this only for swimmers chasing provincials or nationals?
No. The app carries the full ladder, from the regional and festival cuts most age-group swimmers chase, all the way up to Swimming Canada's national development pathway. Wherever your swimmer is right now, the next cut is in the app.
Where do the time standards come from?
Every standard is compiled from the official documents published by Swimming Canada, the provincial sections, and regional bodies. Nothing is estimated or interpolated. When a governing body publishes an update, the app's dataset is updated to match.
How current are the standards?
Standards are reviewed against published sources throughout the season and updated within days of a new release. The app shows the dataset date, so you always know exactly which version you are looking at.
Does it work on the pool deck without Wi-Fi?
Yes. Everything, including the full standards database and all of your swimmers' history, lives on your device. Arena basements and dead zones are exactly where this app was built to work.
What happens to my swimmer's data?
It stays on your phone. There is no account, no server, no analytics on your swimmers, and no ads. Backup and restore are in your control. See the Privacy Policy for the full details.
Is Swim Standards CAN affiliated with Swimming Canada?
No. This is an independent app built by a swim parent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Swimming Canada or any provincial or regional swimming organization. Always confirm official qualifying times with the relevant governing body.
Is Pro a subscription?
No. Pro is a one-time purchase of $6.99 CAD, yours to keep. Only the Coach tier, built for managing a full squad, is a yearly subscription at $39.99 CAD, and it can be cancelled any time in your Apple settings.

Standards today. Podium tomorrow.
